This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 20, 2008:
What is balance? Is it constant for all of us? Is it individual for each one of us?I think that balance might be a very personal place within us where we feel peaceful and contented.Personally this balance point is not always present,it is something I strive for,but am not always successful at attaining.For me the easiest place to find it is in water,it is here that I find myself coming to the present moment,and in this place of NOW,balance is with me,it is when I am connected to omnipresence and there is no needing to do or be anything.The presence of being gives me the balance point,which in turn gives me freedom to be my true self totally connected to everything here in this garden where I live.I love the natural world because of this,I am grateful for the gift I have been given,and recognise this eden as a place of spiritual contemplation.........the place of balance.

And every one of us has a different 'place within' where we find our balance point. That is why it is so important to only focus on your Own balance, and not feel responsible for another persons balance point. Their point may not be anything close to your point. In trying to meet another's balance point we lose our own. That's when problems can arise in relationships. Both people are 'trying' to connect and make the other happy. In turn they are becoming more and more miserable.
If we focus on keeping our Self happy and balanced, we are happy with anyone and everyone we are around. Others feel that in us and respond positively. As long as they always feel free (we do this by not attaching to them) to keep their own space, rather then connect to ours, or rather than us feeling 'responsible' for theirs, the relationship can BLOOM rather than become infected with parasites and eventually die.
I love how your garden is becoming lush and fertile!!! I am enjoying your blogs very much. Please say hi to Chris for me.
Jody,thank you for your powerful insight,I have found fear to be a major parasite that infects relationships,also assumptions.I am honoured that you are enjoying my blogs.Chris has left the garden and is walking her own path.
I have to add this….Chris;s path was not what I assumed it to be….so there we have it,assumptions…fear,,,,,and she comes back with beer…what was I thinking?
It must have been the beer. I've heard it temporarily erases all fear and assumptions.
Follow the callings of your heart but … always listen to the heart of the othes before you give yours away.
Time to get wet,into the warm pool for “balance”…..and listening……..
wow…..!!!!!
